your works really good!!! your streetfighter characters ar amazing!!
been a while since i updated.
i’ll be updating more often from now on =D
here’s a WIP of a wrap around piece i’m working on on the side.
Has been a while indeed.
Looks pretty good (and stylish) as usual.
everytime i look at these threads i get angry in side that i have no artistic ability whatsoever and i have a hard time making decent stick figures. Great stuff man i looked through this entire thread just marveling at this stuff.
Dude, I know how it is. It’s hard to keep things updated. Great looking stuff btw dude.
thanks for the comments, guys.
tisane- yeah, it’s hard sometimes. access to a scanner is the main problem for me usually
i finished the wrap around
totally pro.
Love the drop kick and bullet handcuff parts. thumbs up
My exact same sentiments. Love how the panels flow from one sequence to the next.
thanks for all the compliments, guys. i really appreciate it.
here’s a final update to one of my old wrap arounds
and here’s a WIP
Looking juicy dude. Very very juicy, lol. Keep up the awesome work.
finished
Sweet. Diggin’ her 1st color scheme a bit more; but love the proportion work and her expression.
Really good ish in here, dude. Crit if you want it:
Crit
[details=Spoiler]The way you spot blacks is terrific. You use it to create form and depth, show texture, create interest, and set mood. You are never niggardly in your approach to spotting blacks and in your inking technique. I like that and your confidence in your linework. Your draftsmanship is good stuff too. Nice perspective, different angles and “camera” shots, and backgrounds that do a good job of showing us the setting. Your page layouts are good shit too. They’re varied and dynamic and you pace them well.
A couple of nitpicks: On the dropkick page, you flip POVs and break the 180-rule. I know rules are meant to be broken and bent, but in this case it I think it does your storytelling a bit of a disservice. Like, at the top of the page in panel 1, we’re from the POV of the soldiers, then we flip and cross back to the POV of the devil guy, then we flip back to the POV of the soldier getting dropkicked. To me, it seems a little jerky and slow–Panel 1, he’s running across the table, between Panel 1 and 2 I’m guessing he turns and plants his hands on the table, then panels 3 and 4 he’s kicking the dude. Getting from panels 1 through 2 and 2 through 3 and 4 I find myself having to move the camera in my mind’s eye from one side of the table to the other to figure out where the camera is in the scene and that slows me down a bit.
One trend I’ve noticed in your sequentials is that some of your panels are a little too static. Yeah, all comic book images are static, but some of your choices are too much in the middle of a moment instead of right before or right after it, and that “middleness” waters down some of the impact. For example on page 5 (http://edwinhuang.com/new/cartoon/TakingWhole05.jpg), panel 3; panel 4 has a face close-up with speedlines and is supposed to be the big reveal (he’s got horns and usually people don’t have horns), but since panel 3 already shows his horns that betrays that big reveal. A couple other places where something similar happens: the headbutt on page 6, panel 1, the dropkick, and a couple places in the monkey king sequentials. While you do make good use of details (debris, blood, hair) to help reinforce the actions and their directions, showing the moment of impact dulls it down a bit. I mean the magic of comics is not what’s in the panels, it’s what happens between them that’s magic. Just a little food for thought.[/details]
Anyways, I like that I can take a look in here every once in a while and see you leveling up. You’ve put in the work and it shows. I’m sure soon enough we’ll see you as the regular artist for a book and SRK will support it. Keep that pencil/pen/photoshop going!
thanks for the crit, shiningsoul. no need for the spoiler precaution.
you’re right about the big reveal. it loses a lot of steam b/c of the panel before it. i should just move the hoodie a little forward in the previous panel, and also take note of this for future reference. again, you’re right about page 6(headbutt). i could have combined pages 5 and 6 to pick up the pacing of the story.
thanks again for the excellent crit!!
Woo - these are all really good!
